Majestic Theatre needs more ushers

The first off-season volunteer usher training session for the Majestic and Empire theaters is 10 a.m. Saturday. It’s a one-time, three-hour session that covers house policies, general responsibilities, what to wear, and so on, and includes a tour of the theater. I have done the job minus the benefits of this training. My training lasted five minutes and was administered just before hundreds of seemingly-rabid “Lion King” fans poured into the lobby. In other words, you need the training. Plus, the theaters are in need of ushers.

“We have about a week to get another 100 people,” said Celeste Dillon, director of theatre services.

Additional sessions are 6:30 p.m. July 21 and 4 p.m. July 25. August sessions are yet to be determined.
